Fans can start reading Chainsaw Man Chapter 52 after the Reze Arc movie.

Chainsaw Man is getting more popular than ever with the theatrical release of the Reze Arc movie worldwide. Long-time fans are celebrating Reze’s anime debut, and it goes without saying that her introduction has reignited excitement for what’s next in Denji’s story, especially with how beautifully her tragic romance and explosive power are brought to life on the big screen.

That said, fans can start reading the Chainsaw Man manga after the Reze movie from Chapter 52, titled Lost Love, Flower, Chainsaw. The movie wraps around this point, but a few manga scenes were omitted to better fit the film’s pacing and emotional tone. For those who want to move on from Reze’s tragic romance with Denji as soon as possible, they could simply flip the pages of Chapter 53, titled In a Dream.

The ending of Chainsaw Man The Movie: Reze Arc left many fans in tears, seeing Reze lose her chance at love and happiness with Denji. She was so close yet so far, just a few steps away from the café where Denji waited for her, before fate cruelly intervened. Fans felt that brief moment of hope slip away as Reze lies motionless, her dream of a peaceful and happy life fading along with the light in her eyes.

What Happens After Chainsaw Man The Movie: Reze Arc?

Say Hello to the International Assassins Arc

Following Chainsaw Man The Movie: Reze Arc, fans naturally wonder if there will be a TV version or a new season in the works. In the manga, however, after the Reze arc, anime fans will enter a new story arc called the International Assassins Arc, which starts in Chapter 53 and ends in Chapter 70. This arc brings more trouble for Denji as a wave of deadly assassins from different parts of the world come to Japan just to target Chainsaw Man.

Unlike the Reze Arc, which only had Reze and the Typhoon Devil coming after Denji, the International Assassins Arc introduces an entire lineup of powerful assassins around the globe. From China’s most famous devil hunter, Quanxi, to Germany’s mysterious and sinister Santa Claus to the American thugs from the US, each assassin adds a new layer of unpredictability to Denji’s story.
